Step 3 dance yangko

Yangko is a unique custom in northern Shaanxi. During the Spring Festival, every village organizes yangko teams to pay New Year greetings from door to door, which is commonly called "along the door". Yangko pays homage to God in the temple first, praying for good weather and abundant crops for a year, and then pays a New Year call to every household.

Every time the Yangko team went to a house, the umbrella head touched the scene and made impromptu lyrics to bless the host, such as "Looking up at the gate, the six-hole stone kiln will be exhibited together, and the grain will be abundant and safe all the year round".
